Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A conveyance device that uses a linear motor or the like to run carriers on a traveling rail that runs three-dimensionally over multiple floors. By providing a tear portion that twists the material in a predetermined angular direction, it is possible to increase the speed of three-dimensional transportation and reduce costs.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a conveyance device for cash, etc. in financial institutions, etc., and in particular, the carrier can change direction by tearing at the vertical part of the running rail, and can speed up the conveyance and improve cost. This relates to general transport equipment.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, transportation systems for transporting documents and the like between upper and lower floors have become popular in offices and the like having multiple floors.

In such a system, a method is desired in which the carrier can quickly travel on vertical rails guided to the upper and lower floors.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 6 illustrates a conventional example (1) of a conveyance device using a linear motor, in which running rails 2a and 3a are laid vertically at intervals, and a carrier 1a runs on the running rails 2a and 3a. It is comprised of a lift 4 that is raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism that includes separation parts 20a and 30a that are separated from parts of traveling rails 2a and 3a.

Therefore, when switching the carrier 1a from one of the running rails 2a and 3a to the other, the separating portions 20a and 30
Stop the carrier 1a on either of the lifts 4 and 4.
is moved up and down by the distance between the running rails 2a and 3a.

In this way, when the level of the running rail to be switched is reached, the switching can be performed by running the carrier 1a. The lift 4 is returned to its original position.

On the traveling rails 2a and 3a, stators (not shown) are arranged at predetermined intervals as primary iron cores equipped with magnetic field generating coils of near motors, and stators are arranged at predetermined intervals to generate a traveling magnetic field generated by energizing the magnetic field generating coils and are provided on the carrier 1a. The carrier 1a travels due to the interaction with the eddy current induced in the secondary conductor plate 5. In order to prevent the carrier 1a from floating in this case, wheels (not shown) sandwich the travel rails 2a and 3a from above and below.

Also, Fig. 7 shows a conventional example (2) of a conveying device using a linear motor.
) from the first floor 6 to the second floor 7 in the horizontal section 2L23.
A running rail 2b consisting of a vertical section 22 and a vertical section 22 is laid. Stations 8, 9 are provided at the ends of the horizontal section 21.23.

Therefore, for example, when the carrier 1a is run from station 8 to station 9, it is run from station 8 to station 9 along the horizontal section 21-vertical section 22-horizontal section 23 of the traveling rail 2b.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

According to the above conventional method, ■In the conventional example (1), the traveling rail 2a+ of the carrier 1a
Switching between carriers 3a and 3a is performed by the lift 4, and since the carrier 1a is temporarily stopped and raised and lowered by the lift 4, an elevating mechanism is required, so the mechanism is complicated and operations are required.
Moreover, it takes a long time to switch.

■In conventional example (2), any position relative to stations 8 and 9 as shown in Fig. 6 is sufficient; however, when station 9 is located in the same direction as station 8, as shown in Fig. 8 ta), If the running rail is laid in that direction, the carrier 1a will be upside down, so to avoid this, the running rail should be routed as shown in Figure 8 (b), or the carrier 1a should be laid in the direction shown in Figure 8 (C1). As shown, the reversing mechanism R
It is necessary to provide Therefore, a long traveling rail and wasted installation area are required, or the mechanism becomes complicated as well as the provision of ancillary equipment, operation is required, and reversing takes time.

There is a problem.

[Means for solving problems]

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of the present invention.

In the figure, ■ is a carrier, 2 is a running rail, and 10 is a twisted portion in which the vertical running surface of the running rail 2 is twisted at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal running surface.

Therefore, the conveyor 1 is configured to run while changing the running surface at the twisting portion 10.

[Effect]

When the carrier 1 runs from the horizontal running surface of the traveling rail 2 to the vertical running surface, the carrier 1 moves to the torsion portion 10.
The vehicle travels by changing the running surface in a predetermined angular direction.

Therefore, there is no need for a lift or reversal mechanism, and there is no need to route the running rail to change the running direction, which saves the cost of ancillary equipment and wasted space, improving costs.Moreover, there is no need for changeover time, resulting in high speed. Transportation becomes possible.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a conveying device using a beam near motor.
3a and a running rail 2c consisting of a vertical portion 22a. Stations 8 and 9a are provided at the terminal ends of the horizontal sections 21 and 23a.

The upper and lower ends of the vertical portion 22a, that is, the horizontal portions 21 and 23a
At the transition part from the vertical part 22a to the vertical part 22a, there is a twisted part 10a in which the running surfaces of the running rail 2c are twisted in the same direction by 90 degrees.
.

10b is provided. FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of section A in FIG. 2.

With such a configuration, when transporting the carrier 1a from station 8a to station 9a, for example,
The carrier 1a travels in the horizontal part 21, and when it moves to the vertical part 22a, it turns 90 degrees to the right by the twisting part 10a and runs upwards, and when it moves to the horizontal part 23a, it turns again by the tear-fold part 10b. The vehicle changes its angle by 90 degrees to the right, changes its angle by 180 degrees, moves horizontally, travels along the horizontal portion 23a, and reaches station 9a.

Further, different embodiments (11 and (2)) are shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b). In the figures, the traveling rails 2d and 2e are omitted and shown in a plate shape.

FIG. 4(a) shows a carrier 1a with two teardrops 10c and 10d provided on the vertical portion 22b.
While driving, change the running surface twice by 90 degrees.

Furthermore, in FIG. 4(b), one tear line part 10e is connected to the vertical part 22.
The carrier 1a changes direction by 180 degrees at the twisted part 10e while traveling on the vertical part 22c, and moves to the horizontal part 23.
Move to a.

In this way, by changing the direction of the traveling rail surface using the twisting portion, the carrier 1a can be transported to the upper and lower floors at high speed without stopping.

In each of the above embodiments, a case was explained in which the angle of the running surface was changed by 180 degrees by one or two twisting parts.
As shown in Figure 5, the directions of the upper and lower horizontal parts of the running rail can generally be set at any angle, and the same can be applied by setting the torsional angle of the twisted part to correspond to this. can do.

Further, in the above examples, the carrier 1a uses a linear motor, but the carrier 1a can be generally applied to a carrier having a self-propelled function, and similar effects can be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, by providing the torsion portion in the vertical portion of the running rail, high-speed conveyance is possible without requiring switching time or the like.

■The running rails on the upper and lower floors can be set at any angle.

■There is no need for a lift or reversal mechanism, and there is no need to route the running rail to change the running direction, so costs for ancillary equipment and wasted space are saved, leading to cost improvements.

There is an effect.
